No.

No.

No.

Then there isn't much point in wanting that much money. Your probably only going to use half of it and the other half goes unspent for another day.

You speak as if charity was a good thing.

It's all in the mind
It's like buying organic produce. Nothing tells you that it's 100% organice. Heck, there was an egg company selling battery eggs as free range organic.
So I think it's just nice to have that "good deed" feeling, despite it just being dropping a few dollars in a bucket.
And nine chances out of ten, that money would end up going in the bucket of the guys who're f*** things up in those developing countries.

It's not cause you win something, that you immediately have to donate it away, yanno.

But it's not like your going to use all that money for something worthwhile. I didn't say donate all of it, I meant donate some of it.
